Who we are

The Customer Operations team are a new, multi skilled team within the Global Operations function at Liberis. Global Operations aim to optimise, standardise, and automate our existing processes to help the business scale globally and the Customer Operations team play a pivotal role in helping us do that. The overall objective is to provide the best experience to our partners and merchants, whilst giving 5* service on every interaction we have.  

We own the merchant experience starting from the moment the deal is sold. This means we are playing a huge part in providing our merchants a smooth onboarding experience and need to collaborate closely with other departments including Sales, Underwriting and Finance. We then look after all our in-life merchants assisting them with any queries they have, or amendments they need to make to their account. We are also responsible for collating and responding to all customer feedback and sharing it with the rest of the business, acting as the voice of the customer which helps drive change and make improvements across the business.  

Customer Operations are right at the heart of what we do at Liberis and play a key role in our plans to scale, this is the most exciting time to join the team! 

Who are you

You love helping people and want every interaction with a customer to be a good one.  

You love talking to customers to find ways to solve problems efficiently and independently. You can manage a continuous high workload by being able to plan and prioritise. However, you also enjoy the daily rush of unexpected new tasks and can adapt quickly. You want to support on additional projects which will support your development. 

You have a polite, approachable, friendly yet firm demeanour and can demonstrate that you can stay calm under pressure, which enables you to respond to customers challenges effectively whether on the phone, via email, online chat, or social media.  

You want to grow within Liberis, with an opportunity to develop and evolve this role further. As this role is crucial to expanding our growing Customer Operations function, we are looking for a real self-starter who wants to make an impact from the get-go. The role is vital to Liberis and will provide room for independent thinking and a high degree of responsibility and ownership, with plenty development opportunities for the successful candidate. 

Responsibilities

• Give our customers a best-in-class experience: Be the main point of contact for our customers, irrespective of their concern. Perform admin tasks for in-life customers using Salesforce CRM and other software tools to make the customer journey quick, positive, and frictionless. 
• Manage customer feedback: You will be the first point of contact for customer feedback and will go into dialogue with our customers via phone, email, or social media. You will identify opportunities for improvement based on customer feedback and collaborate with other departments to implement them. 
• Ensure our customers are funded as quickly as possible: Effectively manage your pipeline and workload and ensure our customers receive their funds quickly, smoothly and within our set SLAs. 
• Play a key role in how our customers see us: Ensure a consistently high NPS score via effective customer issue prevention and resolution and keep an eye out on our Google and Trustpilot reviews, encouraging customers to leave feedback during any interaction. 
• Be the voice of the customer to the rest of the business: Bring the customers closer to our internal stakeholders and decision-makers by collating and sharing meaningful customer feedback and run regular call-listening sessions for the business. 
• Get involved in various projects: This is an opportunity, not an obligation. We do encourage all our employees at any level to produce ideas and present them. If the idea gets approved by key stakeholders, you do have the opportunity to lead a small project yourself or support a bigger project with your input. 

We think you need

• Fluent in both English and Finnish (Swedish also would be an advantage!)
• Customer focus and keenness to explore new ways to improve the customer journey and experience. 
• Confidence to ask questions, to understand the product and processes you are involved with. 
• Creativity, resilience, and adaptability.
• Hunger for development.
• A team player who fills in when needed for other in-life teams and colleague.

What happens next?

A lot of businesses talk about the importance of diversity and inclusion, at Liberis we want to make sure that we’re genuinely fostering a highly inclusive culture that not only welcomes diversity, but celebrates it. Our commitment is not just surface level. We’re on a mission to create a safe space where everyone and anyone, regardless of their background, can thrive. 

It’s not just the right thing to do. We also recognise that diverse teams perform better because we have so much to learn from one another. We think that’s pretty cool, and if you do to then you’re in the right place.  

We have a hive of activity happening around the business to make sure we’re always pushing for more. Everyone is encouraged to get involved to help us to continue to build an excellent culture at Liberis.  

Think this sounds like the right next move for you? If you’re not completely confident that you fit our exact criteria, get in touch! Humility is a wonderful thing and we are interested in hearing about what you can add to Liberis. You can reach us at talent@liberis.co.uk - we look forward to chatting with you!
